Isn't it ironic that King James 1 who authorized the popular version of the Bible was a homosexual?

Though exactly what happened next is uncertain, Carolyn later claimed that the teen grabbed her, made lewd advances, and whistled at her as he left.When Bryant's husband, Roy returned to town a few days later he rushed over to Till's family house with his half-brother J.W. Milam and forced Till into their car. After beating him, they drove him down to the Tallahatchie River where they made him carry a 75-pound cotton gin fan to the bank and then ordered him to take off his clothes.
The two men beat him nearly to death, gouged out his eye, shot him in the head, and then threw his body, tied to the cotton gin fan with barbed wire, into the river where his body was discovered three days later. They were acquitted of murder by a local, all-white jury but confessed to murdering Till a year later to a journalist at Look magazine.

DES MOINES, IOWA -
Former U.S. vice-president Mike Pence said Friday that he didn't take any classified information with him when he left office.
Pence made the comment during an interview with The Associated Press in Iowa a week and a half after the FBI seized classified and top secret information during a search at former U.S. president Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate.
Asked directly if he retained any classified information upon leaving office, Pence said, "No, not to my knowledge."

A New Agency Seeks to Hold Washington's Killer Cops Accountable

Advocates Hope Statewide Oversight Can Succeed Where Local Reforms Have Failed

[link:https://www.thestranger.com/cops/2022/08/11/77673402/a-new-agency-seeks-to-hold-washingtons-killer-cops-accountable|

Last week, the skeleton crew of employees staffing Washington’s new Office of Independent Investigations (OII) finally moved into their offices. The agency, while off to a slower start than initially projected, represents a first-in-the-nation victory for survivors of police violence. Once the department hires its remaining key staff members and finalizes its operating protocols, it will stand as the only statewide agency in America that investigates cops when they use deadly force, rather than allowing local departments to investigate their own.

A helpful hint for everyone. Never start a relationship with anyone whose favorite album is Desperado.

"We got first and last names of six witches that are in our church. And you know what's strange? Three of you are in this room right now," Locke said.

"You better look in my eyeballs, we're not afraid of you stinking witch, you devil worshipping Satanist witch.

"We cast you out. In the name of Jesus Christ. We break your spells, we break your curse. We got your first name, we got your last name. We even got an address for one of you," Locke adds.

This is a death threat against these women. Exodus 22:18 “Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.”

Some of the laws the American Christian Taliban will emplace if allowed to power. See the first four books of the Bible for the complete list.
EX 20:8-11, 31:15-17, 34:21, 35:1-3 No work of any kind is to be done on the Sabbath, not even lighting of a fire. This commandment is permanent. Death is required for infractions. (Note: This would require even that essential services, such as hospitals, police departments, etc., shut down on the Sabbath.)
EX 21 -11 A father can sell a daughter into slavery to pay a debt. A daughter sold into slavery is not released at the end of six years as is an ordinary male slave.
EX 21:15 Whoever strikes his father or mother is to be put to death.
EX 21:16 Whoever steals a man is to be put to death. (Note: This is in spite of the fact that a father can sell his daughter into slavery; see EX 21 -11.)
EX 21:17, LE 20 , DT 21:18-21 A child who curses his parent(s) is to be put to death. A stubborn and/or rebellious child is to be put to death.

IDK where the emotes came from.
